Several years ago I read in Precision Shooting (RIP) about a US rifle team competing in England in a service rifle match. Ammo was issued and it's use was required. The team armorer weight sorted theirs, and the scores improved markedly. If anyone else recalls the story, I'd appreciate hearing more.

Anyway, it's a practice I adopted, at least occasionally.
-It eliminates any uncharged cases.
-Identifies rounds that might be a couple of grains light.
-Probably knocks out real heavy or light cases.
-Takes about a minute to check 20 rounds on an electronic scale.
-Very cheap insurance for an important hunt (or match).

What say you?

Not that I have or would (yet), but I know shooters who weight sort what used to be cheap .22 LR to sort it for match or practice ammo.

I suppose if I were issued across the course ammo the night before a match I'd weight sort it for 600 yards.

I remember that article, and if you are in their situation, wherein you must shoot issued ammo, and it is not particularly uniform, then that method will help.
Most of us are never in that situation though. I would not bother with hunting ammo; would it help? You will have to do a test and see.

It sure sounds like something I'd do if I ever had to shoot issued factory ammo.
The last round of factory ammo I recall shooting was over 45 years ago but then I don't shoot matches that require it.
